A man in Scotland claims a UFO hovered just meters above his home.

John Macdonald, 63, released a photo of brightly flickering lights in a dark sky.

"It's definitely a spacecraft of some sort," he said. "I don't know whether I frightened it or not with the flash of the camera, because in the beat of a heart it was gone."

Although some claim the mysterious object is a drone, experts say it is nearly impossible to fly a drone in darkness. Macdonald also rejected the idea, saying that his experience was out of this world.

Drone pilots, including Jonathan Hall from Southport, England, backed up Macdonald. Hall said he was also convinced the object was not a drone.

"I have flown quite a lot at night and the size and shape of the lights look like no drone I have ever seen," Hall said.

However, netizens were skeptical, suggesting the photo had been graphically altered. Some said the photo resembled an empty disco hall.


집 상공에 UFO?

스코틀랜드에 사는 한 남성이 자신의 집에서 불과 수십 미터 상공에서 UFO가 맴돌았다고 밝혔다.

존 맥도날드 (63)은 어두운 하늘에서 여러 색으로 반짝이는 빛들이 보이는 사진을 공개하였다.

“분명히 우주선 모양의 물체에요,”라고 맥도날드는 말하며 “제가 카메라 플래시로 깜짝 놀래 켰는지 아닌지는 모르겠지만 바로 이후 물체가 감쪽같이 사라졌습니다.” 라고 끝 맞췄다.

비록 몇몇의 사람들은 이 괴상한 물체가 드론이라고 주장하고 있지만, 전문가들은 저녁 암흑 속에서 드론을 제대로 비행시키기는 거의 불가능하다고 말하고 있다. 맥도날드 또한 자신이 경험한 것은 지구상의 경험이 아니었다며 이런 반박을 일축하였다.

사우스포트, 영국에서 드론 조종사를 하고 있는 조나던 홀은 맥도날드의 이런 주장을 뒷받침했다. 홀 또한 그 물체가 드론이 아닌 것을 확신하였다.

“저녁에도 상당한 드론 비행을 해봤지만 저 크기에 저런 빛 모양을 가진 드론은 한번도 본적이 없어요,”라고 홀은 말한다.

하지만 네티즌들은 의심쩍다, 그들은 사진이 포토샵 처리가 된 거라고 주장하는 한편 사진이 텅 빈 클럽을 연상시킨다고 하고 있다.
